This chapter's rules get enforced using detention, seizure, and injunction procedures from other sections. Officials enforcing this chapter are covered by section 675's rules and penalties. Congress found the regulated products affect interstate commerce.

This section borrows enforcement tools from elsewhere in the law. The procedures in sections 672, 673, and 674 — covering detentions, seizures and condemnations, and injunctions — apply whenever someone prepares, sells, trades, exchanges, or ships a product in violation of this chapter or a regulation made under it. Section 675's provisions, including its penalties, apply to how officials carry out their duties under this chapter. Congress also made two findings here: (i) the products and activities this chapter regulates are either in interstate or foreign commerce, or they substantially affect that commerce or its free flow; and (ii) regulating them the way this chapter does is necessary to prevent and remove burdens on that commerce, and to regulate it effectively.
